It's only your own ego which presumes that that's the case
but you're mistaken, since God is Love itself, the eternal love between the father and the son.
To humble ourselves before God is only appropriate, and is the beginning of wisdom and of knowledge where real knowledge is the knowledge of experience.
To reject God the Absolute and then elevate the self as God, is utter foolishness.
All this and more is made possible by the work and word of Jesus Christ, who is like a gateway to God and to the holy of holies (unconditioned ground of all being and becoming) where God lives.
What I see are young people with a healthy dose of rebellious teenage angst wanting access to the power of God, without the neccessary humility and virtue where virtue may be defined as power, restrained.

And you know what? I pity you.
What do you think? Is the "God" of our world actually the sun? And how would such phenomena affect our planet?
If God and the reason for the creation, is love, then what is there to rebel against..?
The problem is the desire to rise up and replace God
which is a problem of the willful pride and arrogance, and ego-centric blind ignorance of man, who was made to be in relationship WITH God.

Your spirituality is cheap, gross, disgusting, and exorbitantly plastic and totalitarian. It's no wonder you sound like a goat.

Hell, they don't even hold up in an online forum.
The Moon is not only extremely odd in its construction; it also behaves in a way that is nothing less than miraculous. It is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun but four hundred times closer to the Earth so that both the Sun and the Moon appear to be precisely the same size in the sky which gives us the phenomenon we call a total eclipse. Whilst we take this for granted it has been called the biggest coincidence in the universe.
Furthermore, the Moon mirrors the movement of the Sun in the sky by rising and setting at the same point on the horizon as the Sun does at opposite solstices. For example, this means the Moon rises at midwinter at the same place the Sun does at midsummer. There is no logical reason why the Moon mimics the Sun in this way and it is only meaningful to a human standing on the Earth

So what is hate from? If god is the source of everything then he must be the source of hate as well. If god doesn't create evil then what does? Is there an equal but opposite version of god? How can anything else be an equal to your god?
God is both love and hate, light and dark, good and evil. It is the spectrum in which all opposites are a part of which means it is not concerned about anything that goes on in our tiny lives. What would something so powerful and so awesome gain from having us worship him? Does your god have an ego? That's the only explanation I can think of to justify him requiring worship.
